Done. I've donloaded it. But, I'm not sure of how to unpack it. The
..tar.gz suffix for the files is one I don't know.

You can unpack it with pretty much any packing software like winzip. 7-zip is my favorite.

That tar.gz is actually combination of two packers. tar combines all files in one package without packing, and gz is abbreviation to gzip-packed file (actually lempel-ziv -algorithm -based packing which is used by gzip-program)
